The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is looking for a Eureka man wanted on suspicion of entering a McKinleyville residence Sunday and stealing a number of belongings, including a rifle.

William Davis Kistler, 23, was identified Wednesday by the sheriff's office as the suspect. Kistler is described as a white male adult, five feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 175 pounds. He's described as having brown hair and brown eyes, according to a press release.

The sheriff's office received a call around 9 p.m. Sunday that a McKinleyville resident had just interrupted a burglary at his residence on Cobblestone Road. When deputies arrived, the victim told the deputies he entered his apartment after being gone for the day and saw it was ransacked. The release said he then saw a man in his bedroom putting all of his belongings in a blue duffle bag.

The victim told deputies he had no idea who the suspect was. The citizen was surprised to see the suspect in the second-story apartment because he recalled it was locked when he left for the day, and the front door was still locked when he returned home. According to the release, the victim confronted the suspect and asked how he entered his apartment. The suspect told him through the bathroom window. The victim said the suspect was very calm during the entire encounter.

The victim witnessed the suspect sling the blue duffle bag over his shoulder while grabbing the victim's .22-caliber rifle. The suspect then fled down the stairs of the apartment complex with the victim's property and was last seen headed southeast on foot, the release said.

Anyone with information for the sheriff's office regarding this case is encouraged to call the sheriff's office at 445-7251 or the sheriff's office crime tip line at 268-2539.
